Fresh national polling shows deep challenges for Ron DeSantis ahead of a 2024 presidential run.
In both the CBS News and Echelon Insights polls, former President Donald Trump is supported by a majority of GOP primary voters, with DeSantis mired under 25% in each survey.
The CBS poll, which was conducted between April 27 and April 29, is the worst of the two for DeSantis. Trump takes 58% support, 36 points ahead of DeSantis among the 587 likely voters polled. This lead is well outside the margin of error of +/- 5.4 percentage points.
The rest of the field is farther back. Former Vice President Mike Pence and commentator Vivek Ramaswamy tie for third place, with 5% each. Former United Nations envoy Nikki Haley has 4%, while former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Larry Elder each draw 2% support.
DeSantis is strongest with college educated voters, with Trump only leading him 43% to 32% among that group. Those without college educations favor Trump resoundingly, 77% to 17%, over the Florida Governor.
DeSantis is unable to get traction against Trump even on his signature issue, the war against “woke.” Voters who identify that as a pressing concern prefer Trump, 59% to 24%.
Meanwhile, the CBS poll suggests that even the six-week abortion ban signed into law in Florida isn’t helping DeSantis make the sale. Trump commands 61% support among voters who want a national abortion ban, with DeSantis drawing just 19%, despite signing one of the toughest laws in the country recently.
The Echelon Insights poll is somewhat more favorable to DeSantis. Trump only leads him 50% to 23% in this survey, with former VP Pence in third place with 7%. Haley’s 5% and Ramaswamy’s 4% round out the top five.
These polls track with the FiveThirtyEight average of polls. The former President leads DeSantis 52% to 23% on average, with Pence at 6% and Nikki Haley at 4%.
Some polling is worse for DeSantis. Surveys from the Trump-affiliated McLaughlin and Associates and Emerson College each show the Florida Governor with just 16% support.

Good evening America,
Total fake dook 4 brains leftist agenda poll.
Everyone except dook 4 brains knows this to be true.
Let me, Earl Pitts “The Great Explainer” American dumb it down to reach as many dook 4 brains as possable:
Last election – did Trump win? Hell no Trump lost. So if you were Biden’s “Thinkers and Handelers” logically you would think you will beat Trump again. Now dook 4 brains leftists think real hard on what I, Earl Pitts ” dook 4 brains educator” American just told you.
Yes! Some of you get it now…many of you dont.
That my dook 4 brains students is why the fake polls show Trump ahead and Desantis who actually can beat Biden behind.
On the real folks I really feel sorry for most of the commenters here on FP because you are not genuine like me, Earl Pitts “Mr. Genuine” American. Oh well what should I expect? After all is said and done you all have dook 4 brains and its just so disapointing to a man like me, Earl Pitts ” Genious 4 Brains, American. But still I try to school you on whats right.
Thank you America,
Earl Pitts American

Earl Pitts is a fictional character performed by Gary Burbank, a radio personality from Cincinnati, Ohio beginning in 1968.
Pitts, who is almost always referred to as “Earl Pitts, Uhmerikun” (as in “American”) is a stereotype of a redneck from the Southern United States. As such, Pitts presents a daily “editorial,” which always begins with a bugle call of “Assembly”, and the words, “Ya’ know what makes me sick?” followed by another line like, “You know what makes me s’angry, ah just want to soak mah butt in a bucket of toxic waste?” Pitts then goes off on a rant, either about some cultural topic of the day as seen from a redneck point of view, or an anecdote about his home life or his job at the local tavern. His family and friends—wife Pearl, son Earl Junior, daughter Sandra Dee, and good friend Dub Meeker, among others—figure prominently in many routines. His signature ending lines are “Wake Up, Uhmerika!” and “Ah’m Earl Pitts, Uhmerikun. Pitts off!” while “The Washington Post” march plays in the background.
Burbank, whose radio career has taken him from his native Memphis to his 20-year-plus gig working afternoon drive time at 700/WLW in Cincinnati (and briefly in national syndication), began the Pitts character shortly after arriving at WLW. The daily routines became an instant hit, and a few years later Pitts’ commentaries were syndicated nationally. Earl Pitts now is heard on about 200 stations and via XM Satellite Radio’s WLW simulcast. The monologues were written by a team that included Rob Ervin, Jim Probasco, Tim Mizak, Kel Crum, J.D. Riggs and Todd Richmond, with Burbank refining the scripts before broadcast.[1]
DeSantis blew it

DeSantis really blew it when he started this weird anti-woke culture war stuff. American’s don’t care about any of that. In fact, most Americans are pretty woke and see his efforts as pure racism.
And what’s up with that Disney World thing? Dude seems like he has issues.

Really? Look how that “woke” campaign worked with Bud Light. People have had enough.

Bud Light, like Disney World, will be around far longer than DePantless and his old white supporters like you.
